Let’s Get Physical! Vinyl Sales Up >51%, CD Sales Up for First Time in 17-yrs

Musicians Counterattack, Gain Against the Geeks

In the latest report from the music world, we learned two surprising facts: First, for the first time in 17-years, retail sales of physical compact discs actually increased.
